Secs Crypto Task Force hosts 4 more rounds in industry

The US Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) Crypto Task Force will host another four roundtable discussions with the industry in the spring, on topics ranging from tokenization to decentralized funding (DEFI).

Crypto Task Force’s first round table discussion-kick-off of what Commissioner Hester Peirce, Task Force’s leader, has called secs “Spring Sprint against Crypto Clarity” was held in Washington, DC, last Friday. A dozen industrial lawyers talked about questions related to the security status of tokens.

“Crypto Task Force Roundtables is an opportunity for us to hear a lively discussion among experts about what the regulatory questions are and what the commission can do to solve them,” Peirce said in a Tuesday message.

The Roundtable discussions are only one example of SEC’s radical overhaul of its approach to crypto regulation. As the Agency moves away from the so-called “regulation of enforcement”, practiced by former President Gary Gensler, its new management-inclusive pierce and acting chairman Mark Uyeda signaled have a desire to improve their cooperation with the crypto industry and provide clearer regulatory guidelines to industrial participants.

The next roundtable discussion in the series, “Between a block and a tough place: tailoring regulation for crypto trade” is scheduled for April 11. The following discussions will cover topics including Crypto Custody (April 25), tokenization (12 May) and decentralized funding (June 6). Each of the roundtable discussions takes place in Washington, DC, and will also be livestreamed.
